Sith Happens Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Didn't realise this was a thing. Congrats to Northern Ireland for invoking it for kyle lafferty missing the call up due to injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWC1983 Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Its been a rule for lots of years. National associations have been scared to use it because they dont want to fall out with the clubs. Im with you, fair play for envoking it. However, the only reason they did was because he called off at midnight before the game. You never know, he might have had a night on the bevvy and they decided to hurt him via his club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair to the current england crop you dont often see injuries and then them turning out for their club the following week. Ryan Giggs is an example of someone who used to always be injured for friendlies and then still turn out for club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
